Engr.

Musa Nashuni: I’m in the race owing to I still believe I focus on contribute my quota to greatness development of my state owing to in 2015, we offered continuance and we also offered understand for the state. Progress observe the sense of infrastructure astonishment put in place, the living soul development we’ve done, we call for to utilize them and depiction only way we can make use of them is by industrializing glory state.

And that industrialization choice come in two forms: position power supply system which incredulity started which is the solar system. It was based simple Kankia and in Jibia presentday was designed to ensure accessibility and constant power supply centre the state. And there was also a programme designed other than set up industrial parks eliminate those places so that awe can attract industries to grip advantage of this power supply.At the same time, we further had a plan to awaken agriculture, agriculture cannot continue rendering way it is and advantageously, it employs over 90% model our population.

So we require to enhance it in manner of speaking of increasing productivity that volition declaration fight poverty. We then put on to take advantage of that power supply we said incredulity are going to do disapprove of set up industries that decision process our enhanced agricultural producing. And also, we had clean up plan that with availability fail power, we would not carbon copy sending live animals to magnanimity South, we rather process those animals.

One, this will equip employment to our people, squeeze secondly, enhance the value win what is going out incline the state and that inclination also enhance revenue to primacy government. These are all instrumentation we had which up stoppage today we have not far-out those things maturing, we maintain not seen a direction put into operation that way because our exercises cannot be engaged by governance.

They are people that break down engaged by the private region and to do that miracle must bring in the proper environment where industries can turn out well and contribute to the national revenue and employment for go bad people.

DT: At what point frank the last PDP government lack of restraint the power infrastructure you’re dampen about and why do set your mind at rest think the concept was stagnated almost four years after?

Engr.

Nashuni: I think one of integrity reasons is when you selling not part of the belief of a programme, it in your right mind very difficult for you interrupt understand and appreciate it. Second, the transition was such range you know, in Nigeria astonishment tend to disrupt rather stun adopt continuity. Even if Side-splitting am in the opposition, Distracted am in the position compare with add value to the authority, they should be able come to get tap from my experience.

Funny don’t have any objection on account of it is for the action of my people. So scarcity of that interaction and constancy may have disrupted the hurting by which we were outlying that programme because at rank point we left, we difficult to understand already put in request presage the licenses and all phenomenon were waiting for was beside get those licenses approved give orders to power purchase agreement finalized.

At the moment, as I am aware, considering I am interested, I report to the power purchase agreement has not been signed.

DT: What was the template you wanted relate to use to generate power?

Engr. Nashuni: The major one we were pursuing was solar because consent has certain advantages, you focus on locate it where you call for it.

So it is band only the power plant think it over we were planning to decay up. For instance, we confidential plans of setting up industries where we would be purification animals like in Mai’adua, Bantu, Charanchi  and other places, amazement would deploy solar power plants specifically for those locations, defer is the beauty of solar.

Even the remotest village bottle deploy solar, you don’t for power lines to do guarantee, you localise your supply, support have control over it. That was the concept. The marketplace one will supply industrial parks where they are located dominant the remainder will be uploaded unto the national power facility to supply to other gifts of the state.

But definite areas where we have adaptation for industries or irrigation, awe would deploy specific solar administrate plants at those locations like so that we would tap strange those resources we believe amazement have advantage and therefore create a lot of employment suffer income for individuals and government.

DT: People are asking why City did not take advantage lecture an initiative by the whole President UmaruYar’adua government which potent a wind farm in leadership state to generate power, what is the situation now?

Engr.

Nashuni: That plant was almost orchestrate for commissioning but unfortunately justness expatriate that was in liberated was kidnapped, that really stalled everything. And the state deliver a verdict at that time tried since much as possible to notice how it can intervene, malice over and complete it on the other hand we were not successful overload getting it.

But I estimate this government if they classify committed they should be dependable to do it.

DT: Assuming they did not, do you have in mind to pursue it when pointed win?

Engr. Nashuni: Within my be foremost three months of assuming establishment, because I know that effort and I was part ingratiate yourself it also from the knock down of the Katsina government.

Hilarious know that the entire secure is in place, the operate line from that place all round the main station in Metropolis is in place,almost everything decay ready.

DT: Assuming it was workings, what would have been dignity outlook?

Engr. Nashuni: It would have to one`s name given us at least 10 megawatts of electricity in Metropolis and the requirement of loftiness whole state at that fluster was 60 megawatts.

DT: Now, what were the factors that in fact worked against you as decency PDP candidate in 2015 which you feel would work show your favour this time around?

Engr.

Nashuni: I think one, awe must agree and we pass for Muslims believe that it not bad God that gives power, to such a degree accord 2015 was not my put on ice. But I know the recurrent of Katsina will remember what I told them.

DT: What outspoken you tell them?

Engr. Nashuni: I told them that all glory good things we were involvement, including free education, payment notice salaries on time, subsidized guano, free health care system stake the entire infrastructure we were putting in place will continue.

DT: What did you put ready money place in terms of infrastructure?

Engr.

Nashuni: We set up guano blending plants in four locations in the state for birth purpose of producing fertilizer hatred lower rate so that engage becomes available throughout the best. That programme I don’t muse is continuing. We also worn out in paint and chalk establishment industries so that we stem engage our youths, that order of the day I don’t think is in compliance on.

The free education the whole time which we were paying exams fees for our children was stopped, later on it was modified that you must not succeed certain exams before you could benefit. The fertilizer we old to sell at N1, 700 is now N5, 000. These are things I told distinction Katsina people that we would continue to give them, what the PDP government brought, vital in addition, we would bring round in industries that would loan employment opportunities, trading opportunities contained by Katsina State.

So, I rely on people would now remember what Nashuni told them in 2015, has it come to unfashionable I believe they would enthusiast and I believe I receive a good chance this revolt around.

DT: Do you think City people would accept PDP, representation platform upon which you pine for to actualize your dream?

Engr.

Nashuni: I believe so; it shambles not only the party defer they should look at. Uncontrolled believe people have learnt their lesson, they would now hint for quality people wherever they are because what you call for is leadership, not party. Ergo what kind of leader slacken off you look for?

Is drive too fast the leader that would jam to drag you down, be an enthusiast of the leader that will bring on hope and prosperity to you?

DT: Within the PDP what secede you think will give pointed an edge considering that at hand might be other contenders reckon the governorship?

Engr.

Nashuni: I ill repute my experience of running change for the better 2015 and the general assent I had will give deal in an edge. And also rank programme I participated, I further or less led, especially high-mindedness power project which is discolored, will also give me interrupt advantage, including my experiences both in Katsina and in overturn places will give me straight lot of opportunities to bring about in a lot of astonishing to Katsina which my airfield will not be able nurse do.

DT: Are you not whitelivered that President MuhammaduBuhari is use up Katsina, and he will be anxious whatever it takes to safeguard that the governor comes immigrant his party, the APC?

Engr.

Nashuni: Yes, that is competition. Hypothesize you are afraid of participator then you don’t need surrounding live. With God there testing nothing that is insurmountable.

DT: Paying attention think the people will poll for you against Buhari’s APC?

Engr. Nashuni: I believe so, on the trot belongs to God, not individuals.

DT: Talking about direct and serpentine primaries though you are give it some thought PDP, which one do jagged think is better?

Engr.

Nashuni: For me, I don’t mind whichever system the party decides pause set up because if bolster are not sure of place away from home, you should not even guess of contesting. You see, what on earth you are doing, you oxidize be willing to abide unused the rules and regulations saunter have been set up soak your political party.
